The signal crayfish is vulnerable to both the As and the PsI-isolates of the crayfish plague

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2014
The carrier status and possible elevated tolerance of the signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) against the crayfish plague disease agent (Aphanomyces astaci) has been speculated for several decades.

Impacts of signal crayfish on stream fishes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Invasive species cause biodiversity and economic loss globally. Invasive crayfish have a wide range of effects as a result of their high densities and biomass, feeding at multiple trophic levels, aggressive competition for shelter and ecosystem ...

Consequences for lotic ecosystems of invasion by signal crayfish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
PhDNon-native invasive species are major drivers of biodiversity loss and ecosystemlevel modification. The signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) is a highly successful invasive species and demonstrates traits often seen in keystone species ...

Crayfish plague affects juvenile survival and adult behaviour of invasive signal crayfish. [PDF]

open access: yesParasitology, 2020
The spread of invasive, non-native species is a key threat to biodiversity. Parasites can play a significant role by influencing their invasive host’s survival or behaviour, which can subsequently alter invasion dynamics.

River bank burrowing is innate in native and invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) and is driven by biotic and abiotic cues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The behavior of animals can change when they become invasive. Whilst many species demonstrate exaggerations of existing behaviors, signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) display a novel burrowing activity in some invaded rivers.

The long-term dynamics of invasive signal crayfish forcing of fluvial sediment supply via riverbank burrowing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Animals are important drivers of sediment dynamics. Invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) have been shown to supply sediment to rivers by burrowing into riverbanks. Burrowing directly transfers excavated sediment into the river and also has

Multiple drivers of decline in the global status of freshwater crayfish (Decapoda: Astacidea) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Rates of biodiversity loss are higher in freshwater ecosystems than in most terrestrial or marine ecosystems, making freshwater conservation a priority.

Evaluating techniques for sampling stream crayfish (paranephrops planifrons) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We evaluated several capture and analysis techniques for estimating abundance and size structure of freshwater crayfish (Paranephrops planifrons) (koura) from a forested North Island, New Zealand stream to provide a methodological basis for future ...

THE EFFECT OF THE LARGE-SCALE INTRODUCTION OF SIGNAL CRAYFISH ON THE SPREAD OF CRAYFISH PLAGUE IN SWEDEN

open access: yesKnowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
Since 1907, coinciding with the arrival of the crayfish plague, the noble crayfish (Astacus astacus) has steadily declined in Sweden. To substitute the noble crayfish fishery lost, mainly due to the plague, and since the species is highly susceptible to ...

Survival, Growth, and Reproduction: Comparison of Marbled Crayfish with Four Prominent Crayfish Invaders

open access: yesBiology, 2021
Biological invasions are increasingly recognized ecological and economic threats to biodiversity and are projected to increase in the future. Introduced freshwater crayfish in particular are protruding invaders, exerting tremendous impacts on native ...
